Am I right in saying there is another two seat spitfire in Dutch airforce colours based at thruxton? If so they could try and get that aswel 3 dutch spits and a F-16 Is the RNAFHF spitfire flying again now?

The Mustang won't do what a Spitfire does, but it does it over Berlin.

I had to do some reserch on this aircraft and it is a Spitfire T9 SM520/G-ILDA, It was bought by adventurer Steve Brooks, the first person to fly pole-to-pole by helicopter in 2005, and was the first airworthy aircraft of its genre to go under the hammer in 20 years. see more info here: http://www.flypast.com/view_news.asp?ID=341 I cant wait to see it
